Thanks David!

Didn't think there was a manual, but you never know (sure would be nice 
to have the Dr. Matt material on line again!).  I will look into the 
code at manilaSuite.hosting.createSiteForm and also reconsider on 
whether I should create the website and schedule a task.

Is there any other approach that anybody can think of?

Regardless, I will post full updates to developer.e-xact.com and 
summaries here and at rolandtanglao.com.

Cheers!
